Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay
by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4.5/5 magical stars!!
Well, well, well.. what should I say. It was fantastic, wonderful, amazing and adventurous. This review is a mix for both the movie and the book (because I can't even separate them, Duh!). It was just awesome, truly awesome. Though this book is not really a kind of novel (as it is a screenplay), but while reading each scene I felt that I am watching the movie again. As I progressed to each scene, I felt as if each scene was going live in front of me. The screenplay is exactly same as the book, nothing different (obviously apart from the wonderful cast and effects). And seriously I am glad that I watched the movie before reading this, otherwise I might have missed the charm. And I would suggest doing the same, to you all.
Here, I must admit that this is my first.. first ever J K Rowling (what? right!). I have never read the HP series, and I know this is like a crime (right?). But in my defense, I have watched all the HP movies and I am a huge fan of HP world. I just love the magical world that J K Rowling has created and I just love her imagination. So when I heard that a new movie/book is coming which has a setting of pre-era to Harrypotter, I was not able to resist myself from watching and reading it. I finally I completed it.
I loved all the characters of this new world. All the actors were apt for their particular role - Newt, Tina, Queenie, Jacob, Graves, Credence and all. But my favorite was (can you guess?) - Jacob. He was so adorable and cute. And Queenie is love. The chemistry between both of them is just so good. And I think both of them stole the show.
But one thing I missed was Jhonny Depp :( I heard, before watching the movie, that Jhonny Depp is in it, so I was eagerly waiting for him in the whole movie. And what, just one scene? That's not fair! But hopefully, he will have much bigger roles in the upcoming movies.
And now, lets talk about the main magical things here - the Beasts. All the beasts were unique, cute and entertaining. But my favorite were Muffler and Pickett. Niffler was so mischief and his greed for shiny objects is just so adorable. The attachment of Pickett with Newt will melt your heart.
All in all, this is the first book in the series which has laid the perfect ground for the rest of the books in the series., and it is definitely going to be magical and adventurous. I can't wait to see the next movie to come :( I would recommend it to all the fans of HP.
And yes, special praise to the wonderful cover of the book. The illustrations are too beautiful.
